About this cottage rental
Summary:
Luxurious 1 bedroom home nestled among redwoods, across street from Russian River. Quiet street of single family homes, a relaxing get-away from city hubbub for a person or couple. Additional guests can be accommodated on couch.
Need more Space - See our Profile for links to our larger and homes up the street!
The Space:
Historically a ground level summer cabin, when raised above the 100 hundred year flood level some 15 years ago this cabin was extensively upgraded: recessed lighting in most areas, skylights, a bathroom with extravagant tub (perfect for an intimate soak?! ) and stand-alone shower stall.
The modern kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, though hosting a dinner for 6 adults would be the comfortable limit in this the compact home. It features stainless appliances: refrigerator is full size with bottom freezer; dishwasher has independently operated upper and lower chambers; propane fuels the instant delivery hot water heater, range with self-clean oven, both fireplaces and outside deck placed BBQ.
Privacy-fenced front yard is nicely trimmed, shaded by surrounding Redwood grove.
See our Profile for links to our other homes up the street!
Guest Access:
Yours for your stay are the house, driveway and grounds, which are privacy fenced and so, secure for your pet(s), though leaving them un-supervised can sometimes result in noise nuisance to neighbors - we discourage leaving pets outdoors while you are not present.
John and Eric, your hosts, retain access via the driveway at all times to the ground floor garage and related spaces.
Guests retain sole possession of the fenced in area and raised home/hot tub.
The Neighborhood:
The cottage is 100 yards from beaches, and just over a mile from downtown Guerneville. It’s a short drive to wineries, and to Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve with its grand, peaceful, cathedral-like valley floor.
Getting Around:
Cab service is available, though a call will likely be required:
*Bill's Taxi - 1 (707) 869-2177), www.billstaxiservices.com/;
* Monte Rio Taxi - 1 (707) 849-6802; https://www.monterio-taxi.com/
Sonoma County Transit bus service originates in Santa Rosa (~ 20 miles east) come through, though infrequently.
Other Things to Note:
PETS:
While we are happy to share our home with family pets, we ask they do not sleep on the beds as fur becomes a significant issue for cleaning the sheets and duvet covers.
PLEASE NOTE A $50 PET CLEANING FEE will be requested when pets hair adds significantly to the cleaning of our homes.
Our neighbors are very sensitive to noise: your party is encouraged to enjoy a dinner party, but boisterous noise will prompt their ire. Should your definition of "boisterous noise" differ from theirs your hosts will agree with our reasonable neighbors (they understand ours is a resort town, reliant on the goodwill of its vacationing guests). Downtown is nearby, available and suitable for "PARTY HARDY ! " ;-))
Interaction with Guests:
Our home is three doors away, but we travel for long periods.
Guests receive self check-in instructions upon booking.
The physical layout ensures that, even when hosts access their on-property storage, guests' privacy is secure.

We stayed for a week and it was exactly as described, with pretty much everything you need and nothing you don't. Our pup loved the big fenced-in front yard with lots of corners to sniff and explore. Easy access to two neighborhood beaches within just a couple hundred feet. The unit is located above the owner's pottery studio, and he was nice enough to invite us in and show us around.

We stayed 4 nights in the Pumpkin House. So many positives for us! The location was perfect. Close to town but not walkable due to the road isn’t safe to walk on. Quick drive. River is literally behind the house across the road. Two beaches right in the neighborhood. Your own private parking place. Feels safe. We had our kayaks, no problems. The HOUSE is updated and lovely. Lots of natural light surrounded by redwoods. Kitchen is perfect for prepping food and cooking. The deck is comfy, we played games out there. The soaking tub is amazing and huge. More than enough room for 2. The house is very clean and well maintained. Our dog loved the yard. It’s a pretty garden. We will return!!
